- Fear nothing [sound recording] : a novel / by Gardner, Lisa.; Potter, Kirsten.;
Read by Kirsten Potter."In #1 New York Times bestseller Lisa Gardner's latest pulse-pounding thriller, Detective D. D. Warren must face a new fear as a serial killer terrorizes Boston. My name is Dr. Adeline Glen. Due to a genetic condition, I can't feel pain. I never have. I never will. The last thing Boston Detective D. D. Warren remembers is walking the crime scene after dark. Then, a creaking floorboard, a low voice crooning in her ear. She is later told she managed to discharge her weapon three times. All she knows is that she is seriously injured, unable to move her left arm, unable to return to work. My sister is Shana Day, a notorious murderer who first killed at fourteen. Incarcerated for thirty years, she has now murdered more people while in prison than she did as a free woman. Six weeks later, a second woman is discovered murdered in her own bed, her room containing the same calling cards from the first: a bottle of champagne and a single red rose. The only person who may have seen the killer: Detective D. D. Warren, who still can't lift her child, load her gun, or recall a single detail from the night that may have cost her everything. Our father was Harry Day, an infamous serial killer who buried young women beneath the floor of our home. He has been dead for forty years. Except the Rose Killer knows things about my father he shouldn't. My sister claims she can help catch him. I think just because I can't feel pain doesn't mean my family can't hurt me. D.D. may not be back on the job, but she is back on the hunt. Because the Rose Killer isn't just targeting lone women, he is targeting D.D. And D.D. knows there is only one way to take him down: Fear nothing" -- Provided by publisher.- Subjects: Psychological fiction.; Suspense fiction.; Mystery fiction.; Antisocial personality disorders; Audiobooks.; Police; Serial murderers; Sisters; Warren, D.

- The end of mental illness : how neuroscience is transforming psychiatry and helping prevent or reverse mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, addictions, PTSD, psychosis, personality disorders, and more / by Amen, Daniel G.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."New hope for those suffering from conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addictions, PTSD, ADHD and more. Though incidence of these conditions is skyrocketing, for the past four decades standard treatment hasn't much changed, and success rates in treating them have barely improved, either. Meanwhile, the stigma of the "mental illness" label-damaging and devastating on its own-can often prevent sufferers from getting the help they need. Brain specialist and bestselling author Dr. Daniel Amen is on the forefront of a new movement within medicine and related disciplines that aims to change all that. In The End of Mental Illness, Dr. Amen draws on the latest findings of neuroscience to challenge an outdated psychiatric paradigm and help readers take control and improve the health of their own brain, minimizing or reversing conditions that may be preventing them from living a full and emotionally healthy life. The End of Mental Illness will help you discover: - Why labeling someone as having a "mental illness" is not only inaccurate but harmful - Why standard treatment may not have helped you or a loved one -and why diagnosing and treating you based on your symptoms alone so often misses the true cause of those symptoms and results in poor outcomes -At least 100 simple things you can do yourself to heal your brain and prevent or reverse the problems that are making you feel sad, mad, or bad - How to identify your "brain type" and what you can do to optimize your particular type - Where to find the kind of health provider who understands and uses the new paradigm of brain health"--- Subjects: Mental health.; Mental illness.; Mental illness;

- Not the plan : a novel / by De Cadenet, Gia,author.;
"Back Isadora Maris loves her job. And she's damn good at it. After nearly a decade in state politics, stonewalling senators and aggressive lobbyists are no match for her diplomacy and unflappable commitment to her principles. If all goes according to plan, she'll be managing her boss's successful race for U.S. representative and finally fulfilling her dream: congressional aide in Washington, D.C., where she can really make a difference. But Isadora's cool professionalism is knocked off kilter when she meets Karim Sarda, the newly-hired legislative director of her boss's biggest political rival-and the biggest pain in her neck. He's gorgeous, brilliant, and seems to share many of her ideals. So why's he working for the California senate's most notorious jerk? Given their bosses' fierce political rivalry despite being on the same side of the aisle, Isadora deems Karim off limits, despite the heat she feels whenever he's in the room. Her fear of tarnishing her reputation by flirting with the enemy is compounded by the fact that she was taught to believe nothing she ever did was good enough. Karim knows that struggle all too well: He's still processing the wounds left by his former marriage. As the late nights working together on an ambitious healthcare bill add up, both start to realize that maybe their biggest rival might also be the one who knows-and loves-them best"--- Subjects: Romance fiction.; Novels.; African American women; Borderline personality disorder; Man-woman relationships; Political campaigns; Politicians; Racially mixed people;

- One sunny afternoon : a memoir of trauma and healing / by Jetté Knox, Amanda,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."From the bestselling author of Love Lives Here, a deeply personal memoir about facing life-long trauma head on, and bravely healing the scars that endure. For writer and human rights advocate Amanda Jetté Knox, the inspiring story of her family's journey of love and acceptance, when both her child and partner came out as transgender one after the other, was the hopeful beginning to their new lives. Their tale, shared in her memoir Love Lives Here and embraced by readers everywhere, quickly found its way to the top of bestseller lists. Yet in the spring of 2020, Jetté Knox began to experience targeted attacks on social media, and she soon became the subject of a small but very vocal group that criticized her book's success and her advocacy work. The intensity of the backlash grew and drove Jetté Knox to contemplate suicide. But instead of taking her life, on one sunny afternoon, she went to the hospital to seek help. One Sunny Afternoon is a searing testament to Amanda Jetté Knox's extraordinary reckoning with her past and present, to find hope in her future. Triggered by the online harassment, she wades through her personal history and details the incidents of violence, addiction, and sexual assault that have haunted her. When Amanda eventually receives a diagnosis of Anxiety Disorder and Mood Disorder (also known as complex PTSD) and dedicates herself to recovery, she emerges with newfound strength, resiliency, and confidence. One Sunny Afternoon is a profoundly moving and candid account of how trauma can shape us, but not define us, and reveals how even in our darkest moments--and on our most hopeless days--light can find its way in."--- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Personal narratives.; Jetté Knox, Amanda; Jetté Knox, Amanda.; Affective disorders; Anxiety disorders; Psychic trauma; Resilience (Personality trait);

- My belly : exploring why it's so hard for women to love their bodies / by Østby, Hilde,1974-author.; translation of:Østby, Hilde,1974-Mageboka.English.;
Includes bibliographical references."A candid, sharp-witted account of one writer's relationship with a seemingly-innocent body part. Hilde Østby is a successful author and cultural critic on the cusp of her forty-fifth birthday. But instead of celebrating her many accomplishments, all she can think about is how much she hates her stomach--an insecurity that has ruled over her existence ever since she was fifteen. How did a girl from an academic home--where intellect counted more than looks--become the kind of woman who would obsess over her appearance during a photoshoot for her latest book? In My Belly, Østby decides to, once and for all, write about her most hated body part, exploring how the male gaze, diet culture, stress, capitalism, fashion, beauty, and trauma have played into her obsession. Eventually, through knowledge and wonder, she finds the answer to overcoming her self loathing in unexpected ways."--- Subjects: Biographies.; Personal narratives.; Østby, Hilde, 1974-; Beauty, Personal.; Body image in women.; Eating disorders in women.; Feminine beauty (Aesthetics); Self-esteem.;
